Summary: This record dated in the 5th year opposite to the 15th year of the king is the latest record found for him. It confirm a royal order made in the 12th year of the king, which was carried into effect now. It is important as mentioning the occurrence of a solar eclipse in the month of Mithuna in the 12th year of Vīra-Pāṇḍya’s reign and helps to fix A.D. 946-47 as the date of his accession. It registers a gift of 10 vēli of land by the king for providing worship and offerings to the deities in the temple of Tiruppōttuḍaiya-Mahādēva at Iḷaṅgoykkuḍi, a brahmadēya in Muḷḷi-nāḍu. An officer of the king named Chōḷāntāka-Brahmamārāyar and another named Tamiḻavēḷāṉ figure in the record.

Language: Tamil (tam).
